The Great Indian Kapil Show has brought families together to sit and laugh! However, this season of the show has had a string of hit-or-miss outings. But finally, it hits a sweet spot with Episode 8. Stepping in ahead of its November 27 theatrical release, Yeh Prem Mol Liya, director Sooraj Barjatya, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Sharvari injected a much-needed dose of effortless charm and clean, relatable family humor onto Kapil Sharma’s stage.
Rarely seen on loud comedy talk shows, the legendary Rajshri filmmaker brings warmth, self-deprecating wit, and classic family cinema nostalgia that elevates the entire tone of the evening. This episode proved that when you put Sooraj Barjatya, the man who made weddings the biggest character in Hindi cinema, on a couch with Ayushmann Khurrana, Sharvari, and a full parivaar of veterans, you don’t need a script. You just need Kapil to ask the right questions. And this episode did exactly that.
The theme was obvious – the guests discuss the film, share personal stories, and revisit some interesting wedding memories. The cast came to promote Yeh Prem Mol Liya, which is a romantic family entertainer directed by Sooraj Barjatya. It releases in theatres on November 27. A film this family-friendly needed a show that was just as family-friendly, and Kapil’s couch provided the right stage, for a change!

Sooraj Barjatya On The Seat Actually Worked!
The best part of The Great Indian Kapil Show S5 Ep 8 was seeing the man behind Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! answer personal questions. Ayushmann brought up the filmmaker’s marriage at the age of 21 and asked him about the experience. The conversation then turned to whether Sooraj’s personal experiences of love and relationships have found their way into the weddings and celebrations in his films.
Kapil Sharma is at his best when he gently roasts a guest who’s too polite to hit back, and Sooraj Barjatya, who was the calmest man in the room, was the perfect target. The show elevated when the comedy gang- Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, and Sunil Grover returned with their sketches, which interestingly worked this time!
The ensemble. Supriya Pathak and Seema Pahwa, Swanand Kirkire, Saumya Tandon, Geeta Agrawal Sharma, and Surbhi Tiwari added charm to this episode with their personal anecdotes. After a few episodes that felt like routine promotion, this one finally had warmth. Not because the jokes were sharper, it’s because the guests were genuinely comfortable. Sooraj Barjatya’s calm presence set the mood, Ayushmann’s entertainment quotient hit right, and the whole couch actually felt like a family sitting together on a Sunday evening.
Sooraj Barjatya’s signature warmth proves to be the exact Midas touch The Great Indian Kapil Show needed in Season 5. Backed by Ayushmann Khurrana’s effortless wit, Sharvari’s lively screen presence, and sharp wedding-themed gags from Sunil Grover and Krushna Abhishek, Episode 8 stands out as a breezy, genuinely entertaining family watch!
